Step 1. By Faraday's laws, the SAME quantity of charge liberates masses in the ratio of their equivalent weights. The equivalent weight of hydrogen (as liberated at a cathode, 2H++2e−→H22\text{H}^++2e^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2) is its atomic mass divided by 1, i.e. 1.008 g per equivalent (each H atom needs one electron).

Step 2. Equivalents of hydrogen liberated: 0.504 g1.008 g/equiv=0.5\dfrac{0.504\ \text{g}}{1.008\ \text{g/equiv}} = 0.5 equivalents — i.e. exactly 0.5 Faradays of charge were passed. …
